Man Man Start Fall Tour

By: Spacelab Research Staff
Ok, it really started just over a week ago with a one-off show in their hometown of Philadelphia. But starting today, sonic experimentalists Man Man head out of the hometown and hit the road, playing a string of U.S. tour dates that will go through mid-October. After that, they head to Europe.

Man Man is also looking for a new label for their next album. They've hooked up with Tonearm Recordings to reissue past recordings The Man In The Blue Turban With A Face and Six Demon Bag on picture vinyl, but are on the loose as far as future commitments go.

In a Pitchfork interview, Honus Honus said the band has been working on the new album, saying "Yeah, we have over half of it written. I'm working on writing the rest of it now, and then we're going to record here in Chicago, actually, in January or February. But even if the record were done, we have no one to put it out. We're not on a label right now."

In the meantime, the tour will support the most recent release of Six Demon Bag, on Ace Fu Records. Maybe you can hear some of the new material at the shows? You can also listen to a lot of great bands, as they'll play with the likes of Grizzly Bear, Pink Mountaintops, Mountain Goats, The Thermals, and Asobi Seksu, and more:
